now at the conclusion of the summit merkel said the e.u. needs to focus on their agreement with turkey as a framework for agreements with other migrant origin countries but let's not forget how much this costs the e.u. it was three billion euros this sternly still a lot at stake for merkel because she actually just had a political standoff with her internal minister he wanted to turn away migrants at the german border even though they had been registered in other e.u. countries so with the vision apparent across europe it's hard to see how individual agreements between member states and more spending is going to do anything other than drive a wedge deeper within the heart of the e.u. . but that's the live by political analyst eric and that high go joining us on the program eric let's start with this meeting chancellor merkel of the sixteen nations meeting produced a lot of goodwill but how much closer all those countries in coming up with a solution to the migrant crisis. it's very difficult for the euro and european countries to find a common so

with an eye to america he is certainly saying that that germany and the e.u. need to stand up to the u.s. on trade there had been some concern that perhaps germany would press other e.u. member countries to try to make a deal with the u.s. he seems to be saying very clearly no he's throwing his support behind the e.u. trade minister and also the french government both of which has said we are not going to negotiate with the with the u.s. with a gun to our heads we are going to move forward only within the w t o the world trade organization and we are going to stay with a multilateral approach on trade a number little if if the general gist of the message is president trump is throwing his allies under the bus is he making the case for the e.u. to lock horns with this ally the u.s. . no definitely not he's saying that the e.u. absolutely must continue to work together with and cooperate with the united states where that is possible but he's saying that he thinks that the e.u. needs to rebalance its transatlantic partnership and at the same time stand up to the u.s.

trade organization and the whole system of world trade law he's saying where that does happen the e.u. needs to stand up in the future to the u.s. and for it to do so it needs to be more confident it needs to be more proactive and it most especially needs to be united and that is key here because some people in europe have been speculating that germany might be looking to do some kind of a deal with the u.s. rather than see it move forward with what could amount to a full fledged trade war where germany certainly as a major exporter would suffer and he is saying here no we have to move forward as the e.u. all together which of course has been the line from brussels and he's throwing his weight very clearly behind that united approach of course that is so tricky given that interdependence that you're talking about not only on trade but also when it comes to security and that's something that he also addressed in his speech he talked about that because we know that the u.s. of course heavily involved with nato must address this let's have a listen problem and we need a true european security a
